OVERVIEW
========
Embperl gives you the power to embed Perl code in your HTML documents
and the ability to build your Web site out of small reusable objects in
an object-oriented style. You can also take advantage of all the
usual Perl modules, (including DBI for database access) use their
functionality and easily include their output in your web pages.
Additionaly Embperl support including XML, XSLT tranformations and
a lot of other sources formats.
Embperl has several features which are especially useful for creating
HTML, including dynamic tables, form field processing, URL
escaping/unescaping, session handling, and more.
Embperl is a server-side tool, which means that it's browser-independent.
It can run in various ways: under mod_perl, as a CGI script, or offline.
For database access, there is a module called DBIx::Recordset, which
works well together with Embperl and simplifies creating web pages
with database content.
